Update docs on how customers can acquire beta packages #5000

We should provide clear, step-by-step guidance here for users who want to consume beta bits.

The readme here incorrectly mentions updating the AzureVcpkg.cmake file.

The steps in the root of the beta registry, are about classic mode. https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-vcpkg-betas/#azure-sdk-beta-vcpkg-registry

From @antkmsft:

the instructions are probably wrong - user needs to update vcpkg.json that is in the root of the SDK (manifest mode), or as described in the vcpkg beta registry's readme (classic mode).
